Fighting for glory

Fighting for glory
But sidelined by men’s influence
Pitting for a voice

Matriarchal culture
Under siege but women fought
back against onslaught

Hazy mists remained
Camouflaged efforts of those
pushing for success

Note:  Mists of Avalon a novel on lives of women
who fought to preserve a matriarchal culture

For Chev's CARPE DIEM Special #99  -  Mists of Avalon

    These haiku are wonderful -- but I especially like the last one, how you've drawn the parallel between the mists and time's camouflaging the women's efforts. :)

    I like your haiku better than the book.
